 sILENTaSSassin13 2009-08-03 . chapter 1 ...Great story. Saddening, but great. So that's the end? The war? |
 Kichiheaven26 2009-07-31 . chapter 1..Wow.. That was certainly...depressing.
I'm not sure what to say...except that this fic teaches a lesson better than any fairytale I have ever read. |
 Canon and Grammar Queen 2009-07-20 . chapter 1It's rare that I find a piece of fanfiction that affects me as deeply as this has. You've taken a classic theme of "not mucking about in time," and breathed life into it. Whether or not some of the alternate realities were actually "realistic," we still sense Harry's increasing frustration as he goes along.
Really, it's outstandingly well-done. |
 BlueEyes White Dragon Sorcerer 2008-08-04 . chapter 1Holy hell. Talk about an abuse of time. Good grief. Hee. Canon!Harry meets extended time travel.
Seems more like something you'd find in a cartoon - a morbid cartoon. Not bad. Not expected, but not bad. |
 Saere 2008-06-11 . chapter 1The last scene was brilliant. My first thought was, 'why would all the Muggles leave Britain if not by military mandate?' And of course, the lone wizard was completely oblivious.
Yet again, great job. Voldemort is necessary, as you've proven. |
 kandra 2008-05-28 . chapter 1Butterfly effect.
Yes, I was wondering when he would die in the end.
The scene with Tom was very sad. I still believe that if treated right, that child could have been great... in a good sense. |
 Anon 2008-05-02 . chapter 1 Woah...
Excellent story. I'm speechless...
XD |
 Haruka-Hime 2008-04-27 . chapter 1Very well written. |
 Dimitrius 2008-04-26 . chapter 1Oh. My. God. That is some serious shit you got here, Empster! :D
I love, love, LOVE this plot!! I usually like reading "what if" stories, but this one really took the cake. I am amazed by the sheer simplicity of this story namely because I know how a lot of writers could have taken this kind of plotline and created a convoluted, totally confusing story out of it. Ugh.
But really, you did a good job and even went beyond my expectations for this. =]
Poor Harry, all he wanted was for things to turn out right but you really showed how things are inextricably linked together and history cannot be changed to what you want no matter how much you try. Good lesson to teach to all of us. Reminds of the Aesop fables and how much I loved reading those in my younger years when I was in elementary school. Good times...*feels nostalgic* =]
Anyways, you did well in terms of storyline and presentation. I am also grateful to you for doing something I'm familiar with. So thank you for that. :)
I wish you the best of luck in the challenge.
Sincerely,
Dimitrius |
 Petra Megami Assari 2008-04-23 . chapter 1I like. However, I do have one complaint: what about the muggleborns? Wouldn't one of them figure out they were anout to be nuked? Other than that, very interesting. I especially liked the fact that the time travel was taking its toll on Harry. |
 mujer-preservativa. 2008-04-22 . chapter 1Wow. This is so incredibly bleak but it's totally realistic too.
I'm pretty impressed, Empy. I think this is a good fic to contend with the others-- not only did you hit the prompt on the head, you did it with style and eloquence. Fantastic job with this! :)
(And nevermind the PM you received from me. I'm going about it in a different way. xD) |
 WendWriter 2008-04-22 . chapter 1Wow! This is excellent! I am amazed at how brilliant this is... you actually GOT it! I understand the principle of the Butterfly Effect, but find that writing about it is difficult. You, however, have easily achieved what I was trying to do. Am impressed.
Added to my favourites. |
 Trousers in Small Jars 2008-04-22 . chapter 1THis kind of reminds me of "It's A Wonderful Life" with a twist. I like this. Especily because a character has changed time. Good Luck! |
 Cherry 2008-04-22 . chapter 1 Awesome. |
 Saintmagician 2008-04-22 . chapter 1A very nice take on this idea.
And i guess you get your message across - messing with time is a bad idea.
Although to be fair, if time travel really did allow you to change the past with such large reprecussions, you'd be as likely to get positive results as negative (unhappy) ones. And the result of the changes should generally make some people better off and others worse off equally on average.
Anyway, i like stories that explore the idea of 'real' time travel unlike the sort of 'predetermined' one we see in HP cannon (i.e. in book three, the effect of Harry and Hermione's future selves in the past had already came to pass before the two 'decided' to timetravle. So in effect their decision to time travel and everything they do was 'predetermined'.)
And on a totally random note, i just noticed i've started four paragraphs all with (different) words that begin with the letter A. =P |
